I'm using VB6 for two major projects: a board game prototyping system and a general-purpose file processor.
In my career, I have written a gigantic database for the Philly Police Department and an ambitious automation database (as a temp(!!) ) for Comcast.

But guess what? I still don't know half of the cool things we can do with Visual Basic! That's why haven't paid attention to people telling me I need to learn a more modern language. I did consider learning VB.Net, back when I thought it was VB 7.0 and not a creature from another galaxy.

there is nothing wrong learning vb.net i my self think the same way but now that i write several programs on it i think its the same as VB6 (maybe a bit better). Not to mention that you can use the old native code in VB.NET as well.

I've been writing code in virtually all versions of BASIC going all the way back to TRSBASIC and MBASIC80. I jumped into the Windows versions with VB4 then VB5 and VB6 in 1997. I've done a lot of smaller database projects and developed an app suite used by county and state governments all over the country. This particular application uses six access databases and contains over 800 fields. I'm currently doing a major rewrite of it to use the Firdbird database with a lot of bells and whistles thrown in for Windows 7.

I spent several years as an MCT running around the country teaching Microsoft's VB4, 5 and 6 classes. I've also developed a number of applications from scratch in VB6, some pretty large. While I'm not the strongest VB6 person I know, I'd say I'm an expert.
